Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 9:2

2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin-offering , and a ram for a burnt-offering without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

Heb. A calf, the son of a Bull or Cow: Which may seem to be added purposely to intimate that it was not a young calf properly so called, but a young bullock, for that was the sacrifice enjoyned for the High-priests sin-offering, Levit. 4. 3. Though it be not material, if this be a young calf and that a young bull, because the grounds and ends of these several sacrifices differ, that Levit. [illegible: 1+ letters]. being for his particular sin; and this for his own and families: [illegible: 1+ letters]ns in general, and therefore no wonder if the sacrifices also differ.

For himself and his own sins, which was an evidence of the imperfection of that Priest-hood, and of the necessity of another and a better.
